The Sun and the Moon 1987

"The Sun and the Moon", painted in 1987 by Boris Vallejo, is a visually striking piece that depicts a powerful and dramatic scene. A muscular, long-haired man, presumably representing the moon, supports a large celestial orb with his outstretched arms. Atop the orb sits a beautiful, nude woman embodying the sun, her flowing hair and outstretched arms reaching towards the heavens. Vallejo is known for his use of dynamic figures and dramatic lighting, and this piece exemplifies his signature style. The contrast between the bright, fiery colors of the upper half of the painting and the cool, dark tones of the lower half creates a visually captivating effect.
